Five poems of loquat in early summer: Ke stacked golden pills, loquat pair of incense

Then these loquats are to be kept fresh and transported over long distances, and the concubine laughs when riding the red dust, and among the galloping horses of such a post station, there are not only lychees, but also wild and planted-type loquat prepared for tribute.
